SENATE GROUP RESTORES HOUSE

CUT TO OPA

WASHINGTON, D. C. — The Senate Appropriation Committee today voted to put the Office of Price Administration back on its financial feet and to give the Office of War Information a monetary leg up.

The committee voted to completely restore the House cut of $47,000,000 for its domestic operation. This leaves the OWI about $5,000,000 short for it domestic branch.

The changes may hold up the $3,000,000,000 appropriation bill that will supply funds for 16 war agencies. The bill should have been passed by midnight tonight — the end of the fiscal year. Otherwise, the 16 war agencies will be operating without money until the bill is passed by both houses.
